COTTON.
! The New York markel has been very
! active during the week. This activity
| has been accompanied by considerable
! price fluctuations. Taking the week as q
whole, values show marked gain both in
futures and spots. The crop movement
has been again light. Speculative manip-
ulatiCn was actively exercised on both
/ sides of the position. The greatest activi-
| ty was on the old crop months,
which, in view of the present
conditions Of supply and demand,
promise to be q source OF considerable
action before the close of the present
crop year. The general situation as re-
CARDS the old shows no change. Euro
pean advices on Tuesday were lower.
This, added to reports Of heavy Indian
supplies being drawn out by the pros
peCt of higher prices and more favorable
crop adviCes from Texas, caused values
TO shrink materially. On Wednesday
prices showed decided upward tendency,
and all cotton offered was quickly taken
at higher prices. On Thursday a sharp
squeeze was engineered in June. The
FshortS" were severely haaded. The
whole of the activity seemed concentrated
upon this mouth, the rest Of the old and
the entire new crop months falling to
show the same relative active activity.
June delivery at one time on Thursday
reached lie, but broke later in the day.
The causes for the squeeze were variCusly
attributed. The COnceneus of opinion
credited some prominent local operators
with the engineering of the deal. The
fact remains, however, that nearly all
markets responded actively to the call.
New Orleans and several western markets
bought considerable.
The Liverpool report this week showed
reduc:i, in stocks. The business done
was of a good volume. Spots were
quoted Lied higher for the week. Man
chester was quiet. Offers for yarns were
reported too low. Cloths were dull and
unchanged. The New York market was
strong on Friday and values showed
slight gain for the day Spots were I'M
changed. For the week spots show q !
gain of &c. Less of 8 gain is shown on |
futures, which tends to show the strength |
